[2025 Taipei ] Travel Guide for Maokong Jhangshu Trail (Updated Apr)

Transportation Tips - Taipei MRT Local attractions - Cat Sky Zoo, Tea House, Galaxy Cave Food and Restaurants - Local chicken and wild vegetables, tea Taiwan clears the border, and in Hong Kong, you can try to walk the "Galaxy Cave Crossing Trail" in Taipei. traffic: Take bus 12🚌 from Xindian MRT Station, get off at Galaxy Cave Station, and walk for 30 minutes to reach the trailhead. #Travel alone is not in a hurry, walking "doesn't matter". "#Galaxy Cave" (1914) is the Lu Dong Bin Temple renovated in 1958 according to the cave. You can hear the roaring sound after walking 30 minutes from the trailhead. You can see the true appearance of "Galaxy Cave" when you turn the corner. Galaxy Cave is built according to a natural cave formed by the indentation of the mountain wall. Outside the cave is the famous "Galaxy Cave Falls". The waterfall falls from the cliff and is an IG fairy photo spot. However, beautiful things are like love 💑...... always pass by🤦‍♂️ (when there is not enough water, you can't take beautiful photos). The temple in the rock is not big and relatively dark. The cave is covered with moss and large ferns, blending the temple with nature. I heard from the temple wisher that the Galaxy Cave is the most beautiful after the rain, because you see the Galaxy Cave waterfall, however it really depends on luck (if you are lucky, you will have won the lottery long ago). 🤷‍♂️ The trail goes from the new shop to Cat Kong. Cat Kong was one of the largest tea-producing areas in Taipei City in the past. The Cat Sky Cable Car and Wooden Gate Zoo are both famous. Along the Camphor Lake Trail and the Camphor Tree Trail to the ##Cat Air Cable Car is a green tea garden. There is no shortage of tea and tea at Cat Kong. There are also some restaurants here that serve tea leaves, which are worth recommending. 👍 This is the first time I ate local chicken at Cat Kong Tea House. The chicken leg is as big as half a face. It's fresh and has firm meat. Of course there is no shortage of wild vegetables, fresh. The Galaxy Cave Crossing Trail and Galaxy Cave are arguably the less popular tourist attractions in Taipei for Hong Kongers. If you only want to take a few photos, you may feel the distance is relatively far, but if you like outdoor activities and hiking, the route can satisfy several wishes at the same time and is definitely worth the return fare. If you want to walk more comfortably, you can start from Cat Kong, which is easier to go down the mountain. 🚌 Galaxy Cave location Address: Galaxy Road, Xindian District, New Taipei City (Xindian Galaxy Wonderland Fude Temple) Distance: 2.2 kilometers Approximate Duration: 1 hour 5 minutes (longer if you get to cat empty) #FindingYourTravelBackpack #FindYourTravelBackpackTaiwanEpisode #CatCableCar #GalaxyCave #TaipeiFeatures ##TaiwanTravel##TaipeiFood
